The pharmacological effect of the 5-HT1A receptor ligands, 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT), indorenate, and buspirone, alone or in combination with the antagonist MM-77, was studied in mice subjected to forced swimming. It was confirmed that this stressful factor produces an anxiolytic-like effect, which is reversed by the mentioned 5-HT1A receptor agonists. Only the 8-OH-DPAT-induced decrease of such an effect could be blocked by the postsynaptic antagonist of the 5-HT1A receptor 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[(4-succinimido)butyl]-piperazine (MM-77). Stressing by forced swimming seems to induce plastic changes in 5-HT1A receptors, which in turn modify the behavioural actions of 5-HT1A receptor agents.
